I enjoyed 3 nights at this property and was happy that I chose to stay here.
Email communication was easy and efficient, as Ms. Oranee generally responded quickly with accurate, concise information. Her instructions about getting to the neighborhood using trains and buses, my preferred choice, were very clear and brought me to a spot where I met her assistant who guided me through the last couple of alleys to the house. It was clean and the air conditioning brought welcome relief from the heat and humidity that was a constant presence during my visit. The apartment itself is very basic and as others noted, the separation between the room and the bathroom is a little odd and somewhat awkward at times, but it's a small trade-off for the location and value.
The neighborhood feels very "local", with easy access to a wide range of food stalls, restaurants, and a 7-11. Finding transportation is very simple and you are within a few steps of tuk tuks, taxis, and buses, and only a few walking minutes from the pier where you can catch the ferry, which is most often the best choice for accessing the city's sights. An added bonus is that you are at the beginning of the ferry route, which pretty much guarantees that you can get a seat from which to watch the activity on the busy river route.
If you're looking for a greater sense of immersion than a large hotel can offer, while still having easy access to the many attractions in Bangkok, this apartment will provide that, while leaving you with plenty of money to spend on amazing street food and massages.
